Is the animal harmed in the process of extracting the oil from their body?

From what I know, they eat emu's like chicken in Australia. They raise them for meat. After an emu has already been killed and sent off to be turned into food, the fatty parts that would be otherwise thrown away is what is used to make the oil. Basically, you can't get emu oil from a living emu, but I doubt they grow them for the oil alone. That's highly inefficient. So to answer your question, no, they are not harmed in the process of making the oil because they're already dead and the excess fatty parts are sent to the factories to make the oil and other stuff. Mind you, I'm no expert. I just bought this and did a little research to find out why it worked so well. Hope that helps!

Just as the customer has stated they are farmed for their meat. The oil is extracted at that point. This was purchased not for cosmetic purposes but for my child's severe nose bleeds the Oil is one of the only thing that helps treat the nasal passage.

Not sure. Please research this before giving it to your pet. It can hurt them.

No. This is an excellent tool for removing hair from fabric such as upholstery. Works great for that!!! I would not use it for the pet itself.

No. The oil is encased in the heater. No muss, no fuss! It's a great heater!

I did this, but I took her to the vet after it healed and it turned out my dog had a fungi. But my other dog did have a sore and it was slightly open, he just did it because he was bored. It will have a stinging sensation to them so they will avoid it.

The bottle lists two items salmon oil and rosemary extract. The product is orange and oily smelling like fish oil. My dogs love it and their fur shines. I would recommend it.

I would say it is more herbaceous. I don't find it an unpleasant odor but I could see how someone unfamiliar with the oil might be a little "put off" by the smell.

I would say no - this is a chemical compound not for human ingestion - if a human can't ingest it neither should an animal.

Nope, No animals were harmed in the making of these blanket or else I wouldn't have bought it haha. I'm against harming animals. This blanket is really soft and keeps you really warm. Would recommend not using during the summer or else you might wake up in a lake of sweat.

I have read that animals seem to do better with this kind of treatment. Wouldn't hurt them.

Indeed. But upon checking, I think its is a thin membrane that becomes loose after in contact with the oil and thus loosened and floating in the oil. I used a clean forcep to remove it and also remove the lining in the cap. Maybe you can try. Its definitely not contaminated. I am sure the seller / mfr could look into this to eliminate customers anxiety. Hope this helps.

salmon oil is not species-specific. Although this particular product is not human food-grade, even people use salmon oil.

Yes, absolutely. It is a loud "psst" sound...there is no contact with the animal...just the sound.

I don't know if you have any idea about EMU oil and where it comes from but you are way off base on EMU animals. There is no such thing as an EMU animal. This comes from pure oil refined down to be used as a medical aid.

I have done research and it is not a good idea to ingest any oils. They have to been approved by FDA.

Not as far as I can see. It's really just a good source of Omega 3's which reduce inflammation, promote heart health, etc. -- same thing they do in humans. My border collie is still shedding his usual bales of fur, and he's getting 3 big "pumps" a day of this.

Hi Bre, There is NO animal testing or animal products in our Argan Oil. It is pure organic argan oil with nothing else added to it.
